How to Choose an HRDF-Approved Training Provider
Not all HRD Corp-registered providers deliver the same quality. Use these five criteria to shortlist the right training partner for your organisation before committing your levy funds.
Verify active HRD Corp registration
Check the provider's registration status on the HRD Corp e-TRiS portal. Registration must be current — an expired registration means your claim will be rejected even if the training is completed.
Match specialisation to your training need
HRDF providers vary widely in expertise. A provider strong in safety and compliance may not be suitable for leadership development. Review their track record and client portfolio in your specific category.
Check trainer credentials
Ask for trainer CVs and certifications. Look for industry experience, professional qualifications (e.g., HRCI, ICF, PRINCE2), and a demonstrated track record of delivering similar programmes to Malaysian corporates.
Confirm programme registration in e-TRiS
The provider must register the specific training programme in HRD Corp's e-TRiS system before training begins. Programmes not pre-registered cannot be claimed. Always get written confirmation from the provider.
Get at least three quotes
HRDF-approved rates vary significantly. Under the SBL-Khas scheme, you can claim up to RM8,000 per training day. Getting multiple quotes helps you maximise value within your levy balance and avoid overpriced programmes.
Which HRDF Claim Scheme Should You Use?
HRD Corp operates several grant schemes. Most Malaysian companies use SBL-Khas for external training providers. Here is a quick comparison:
| Scheme | Best For | Max Claim | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBL-Khas | External training from registered providers | Up to RM8,000/day | 3–5 working days |
| SBL | In-house and overseas programmes | Based on approved fee | 5–10 working days |
| PLT | Future skills and digital upskilling | Up to RM5,000 | 5–7 working days |
| ILP | Workplace learning with institutions | Varies by programme | 7–14 working days |
How to Claim HRDF Training: Step by Step
Choose a Provider
Select an HRDF-registered provider from our directory. Confirm their registration is active and the programme matches your staff's skill gap.
Submit Grant Application
Apply through the HRD Corp e-TRiS system at least 3–5 working days before training. Do not proceed with training before receiving approval — unapproved claims are rejected.
Claim After Training
Upload attendance sheets, completion certificates, and invoice within 60 days of training. Reimbursement is credited to your HRD Corp account within 14–30 working days.
Frequently Asked Questions About HRDF Training Providers
How do I check if a training provider is HRDF-registered?
Log in to the HRD Corp e-TRiS portal (etris.hrdcorp.gov.my) and search under "Training Provider Search." You can verify by company name or registration number. All providers listed on CorporateTrainingMY.com have been cross-checked against the HRD Corp database, though we recommend double-checking before submitting your grant application.
Can I claim HRDF for online training?
Yes, online and virtual training is HRDF claimable provided it is delivered by a registered HRD Corp provider, includes live interaction (not just pre-recorded content), and is registered under an approved scheme before training commences. The SBL-Khas scheme covers most virtual instructor-led programmes.
What happens if my HRDF claim is rejected?
Common rejection reasons include: training conducted before grant approval, missing attendance records, invoice discrepancies, and expired provider registration. If rejected, you can appeal within 30 days by submitting additional supporting documents. To avoid rejection, confirm approval before training and keep all documentation from the provider.
How many employees need to attend for HRDF to be worthwhile?
There is no minimum — even a single employee can attend HRDF-claimable training. However, group bookings (8–20 participants) typically offer better value as providers can offer lower per-participant rates and the fixed training day fee covers the whole group.
Is there a limit on how many HRDF claims I can make per year?
No fixed limit — claims are subject to your available levy balance. You can make multiple claims across different training programmes throughout the year. However, each programme requires a separate grant application, and the cumulative claims cannot exceed your accumulated levy contributions.
